The 80s were better than the 90s. 90s (to me were undefined at least in music). The 80s were more fun!

Like, how can you even ask this question!!
It was like sooo definitly the 80's!!
Like, gag me with a spoon for even asking this question!!
Seriously, we had Awesome music, great movies, the brat pack, day glow colors,and crazy fashion going on all over the place!
How can you dis a decade that gave us such classics as The lost Boys, Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club and Fast Times At Ridgemont High.Madonna,Duran Duran, U2,A-HA,
Depeche Mode,and REM.
Obviously I love the 80's and everything that went with it.
It was just a FUN time!!

Ugh! 'Cause they're all overrated!
All I have to say is:
Beverly Hills, 90210. '90s win.

The 80s were 1000 times better than the 90s!!!! Styles in the 90s were soooooo boring, especially in the 1st half. I hate 90s music. All that angst and grunge and crap...
I think in order to have a true appreciation for the 80s though, you have to be old enough now to have really LIVED them. In other words, if you were born in 1983, you wouldn't have as much to go on. I was in high school in the 80s, so that frame of reference is there...you know, huge hair, blue eyeliner, shoulder pads, the whole deal.
I also really liked the 70s though. That's when I was a kid and I was just so happy then...such great music and tv too!

The 80s sucked all kinds of ass and were symbolic of all that is wrong in the world, with very few exceptions.

I would have to say that the 80's and 90's were equally good to me. Both were better than the decade we're going through now. I would take women in blue eyeliner and shoulder pads over $3 a gallon gas prices and war any day.

All I know is I would be really happy to live in the decade where people screamed "Disco Sucks". It would make me really happy to scream that and not have people look at me like i'm weird.

" The east coast family"
and P.S. it's BBD
Not everything that came out of the 90's was angst ridden and depressed, especially later in the decade when we had the resurgance of good ole' teen pop with Britney, Backstreet and all those good people. Also whoever said movies were also depressing, cluless, Pretty Woman, these were both fluffy little pieces of cinema, which did not depress me at all.
Plenty of happy stuff happened in the 90's. Besides I don't really remember that much of the 80's excpet the toys, so...

Do you wear your sunglasses at night so you can (so you can) see the light that's right before your eyes?
